It is to be remembered that in most of these
States it was an "off year." when freaks and
factions and third parties have the best oppor-
tunity to develop their fullest strength, catch
ing all the disgruntled and dissatisfied Those
figures tell the story that all intelligent
observers must know to be true, and that is,
that the idea Of treating the important ques-
ton of regulating and restricting, and, if you
please, extirpating the liquor traffic by means
of general and uniform prohibitory laws,
either constitutional or statutory, is fast los
ing ground, and the great body of intelligent,
thoughtful. conservative people are coming to
recognize that there is better, safer, more
practical and more effective method that can
be adopted. The figures also tell another
story, and that is, that the third-party move
ment peters out just in proportion as the
Republican party takes hold of the question
resolutely and vigorously, with the manifest
intention of throttling the insolent arrogance
of the liquor lords, and compelling the traffic
to keep within the provisions of whatever law
the majority of the people shall ordain. For
US, the latter is the chiefest lesson, illumined,
however, by the first one we have mentioned.

ALMOST simultaneously with definite in
formation as to the failure of the De Lesseps
Panama canal scheme comes the announce
like character under far more promising con-
ditions. A steamer will sail from New York
on Wednesday for Greytown, Nicaragua,
carrying a large and thoroughly equipped
party of engineers and surveyors for the
Nicaragua Canal Construction Company.
This enterprise will be under American con-
troll, and there is reason to believe the man
agement will be very different from that of
the De Lesseps scheme.

WHEN the Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker crossed
the Atlantic to pronounce eulogy on the
late Mr.. Beeeher it was given out that it was
a labor of love on DR.. Parker's part--a volun-
tary tribute to the memory of dear friend.
This gives the effect of a disagreeable sur
prise to the statement now made that DIR.
Parker, in addition to his travelling expenses,
received $500 for delivering the eulogy. and
that of the proceeds which were to go to the
Beecher monument fund. he got the lions
share. An interviewer who tried to get
statement from DR.. Parker was assured that
the whole matter was managed by his agent,
though he did not deny the main points.
The statement is in keeping with the conduct
of most Englisnmen who come to this coun-
try in professional capacity. The fact is,
the average Englishman is exceedingly mer-
cenary, and takes thoroughly commercial
view of things. English artists actors, Iect-
urers. readers, etc., seem toregard the United
States as a country to be worked for all that
is in it. Possibly Dr. Parker was not a party

have united. This is one of the most valua-
BILE and hopeful characteristics of indianapolis
life, and one which will not fail to attract the
attention of those who may be seeking loca-
ton for business or for residence. In Indi-
annapolis there is no room for the antagonists
of labor and capital, no place whatever for
the socialistic or communistic spirit. And
in addition to this, the fact remains that
natural gas is to come to the city. 1t may
not be in the special or particular way in
which one or the other may have predeter-
mined it should come; but come it will, and no
pride of opinion, arrogance of self-conceit
in any quarter, should erect the slightest
barrier to the prompt, the equitable, the
completest and the cheapest supply of gas.
With such union of all classes in deter
mination to make indianapolis the equal and
the superior of other cities in facilities for
manufacturing, and with the absolute certain
ty that natural gas is to come under terms
and conditions that will rival or excel those
of mpeting cities, who shall set limits to
the splendid outcome to indianapolis, it's
people and its industriesf Not in wild spec
ulation, not in unheathful "booms," not in
windy balloons, but in solid, practicable. en-
during prosperity.
Indianapolis is surrounded by as fine an
agricultural country. more than hundred
miles in every direction, the sun shines
upon. Tributary are as fine minerals and
woods any country boasts. Radiating to
every point is system of railways not
celled. Here the one great factor of cheap
fuel will command all the resources of raw
material and fashion them for the consumer.
Here great market for the perishable and
non-exportable productions of our rich soil, as
we'll as staples, will find home market at
better prices than obtained abroad as it is and
always has been in the iron regions of Penn
sylvania; and here also will flourish the great
transportation agencies in the exchange of
well-balanced and diversified industries-the
one the complement Of the other, each doing
its normal part in developing balanced CIV
ilization.
With such problem before US comes addi-
tIOual responsibility anu SoIiCituue Aor COr
social and educational affairs. The rapid
growth of population, sure to follow, will con-
stantly make new demands. A rapid growth
of our manufacturing and commercial indus
tries is sure to develop the trend toward help
full education, and manual and industrial
training is sure to supplant the practically
dead languages upon which both time and
money are now squandered. While the man.
ufacturing and commercial industries will go
forward with a bound, impelled by the ad-
vantages of this new agent, it will require
patient thought and wise action to keep pace
in other elements of strength. and make
symmetrical city. The situation, while full
of hope and buoyancy. is also full of serious
thought and responsibility. There is need of
conservatism and wisdom as we'll as brass
band and self-adulatIon.

The friends of Johann Most who have
testified in his trial are precious lot. One
admitted that he did not know whether the
United States government was republic or
a monarchy Another defined anarchy as
meaning 'they have everything upright and
straight" A third described anarchy as a
condition of things wherein people ruled
themselves in communities, without any State
or general government, without courts, and
without law. Common sense should be the
only. rule of conduct; there should be no
punishment for wrong-doing, except guilty
persons own conscience, which in time would
set him right A fine picture, truly. Common
sense and conscience as rules of action would
stand a poor show against the criminal and
bestial impulses of these Anarchists. All of
these witnesses testified that they did not
believe in God OF course not. That is the
beginning of anarchy. Rejection of divine
law and authority precedes rejection of human
law and authority. Anarchy is the logical
sequence of atheism. The fewer we have of
that kind of cattle in this country the better.

Let Republicans Make No Mistake.

Suppose army commander, on starting out
upon a campaign, should admit that he had lost
a great many of his troops by desertion. but
should say that he expected, before he came to
battle, to make up for this loss by acceseons of
deserters from the enemy-what would be
thought of his wisdoml And yet he would be
Just as wise as those Republican leaders who ad-
NIT that Mr. Blaine will lose great many Re-
publican votes but claim that he will get great
many Irish Democratic votes to make up for the
loss There are enough Republican votes In

we'll wisher of the party see that no man is NOM
mated who is not reasonably sure of every Re-
nuhlican vote. s.

THE bright sayings of children have Away

THE bright sayings of children have always
had an interest to mothers and fathers, and their
witticisms are numerous enough to make de-
partment in many family newspapers. But
there is such thing OVERRIDING even as good
special feature this frequently is in many
newspapers The Boston Globe has invited the
mothers of New England children to send in
their brightest sayings, and promises to print q
page more of them. Of course. some of them
will be genuine, but for the most part the parents
will be the authors of the supposed witty re-
marks, and the result will be reflex Of the wit
of such New England fathers and mothers as are
vain enough to want their children's names in
the paper, rather than of the little ones them
selves. page of witticisms is to the mind
what pint of honey is to the stomach; and
what Shakespeare said of honey may well be said
of wit: "a little more than little is by much too
much The whole plan is bad, and the Globe
is pursuing it, we suspect, to put money in it's
purse instead of fulfilling it's high ideals of MAX
ing a newspaper. Boston journalism must be
on the wane

RAPIDLY growing cities and real estate booms
are not confined to this country We should
hardly expect to find anything of the kind in
Japan, but here is in point. Dr. w. G..
Holland, naturalist of the United States eclipse
expedition, who is in that country, writes:
''No city in the East is at present growing as
rapidly as Kobe Three years ago it had pop
uation of s., 600. To-day it has population of
los. 900 souls. The town is confined to a COM
paratively narrow strip of land which extends
along the bay at the foot of high and very pre-
cipitous hills of accomplishing granite. which
present insuperable barrier to growth inland
As the city expands in size it must inevitably
lengthen itself along the shore As natural
consequence of the rapid increase of the COM
munity, the price of land has increased enor-
mously within few years. Kobe has a boom in
town lots and building enterprises which pre-
sents the same features as similar movements in
our Western cities"
SO it seems that Japan is not finished coun-
try, and the condit ions at Kobe not unlike
those at Kansas City.

WASHINGTON has one hundred and forty miles
of streets with shade trees on both Sides 1t is
doubtful if any other city in the world has as
many miles of trees this, and certainly no
other has anything like the variety of trees.
These number forty-three. This does not in
~eiude the trees and exotics in the parks and
reservations but only those along the streets.
The number of miles shaded by some of the
principal varieties are as follows:
"White naples, fifty FIVE miles; Carolina pop
lars. sixteen miles, elms, thirteen miles; lindens
thirteen miles; ash-leaved naples. ten miles, and
Norway naples, six miles; in all, lib miles. The
remaining species, numbering about thirty
seven, and aggregating 10, 900 trees. fill about
twenty miles of Streets"
They have been planted and attended to under
the enthusiastic and intelligent supervision of
Mr. William r. Smith, superintendent of the
government botanical gardens, trained florist
and forester, who has done more to beautify
Washington in this line than any other one
